Yes! Take the Time to Hold You Dearly
Dear Friends of Bluebird Fairies
Hello. I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. Or, with a tiny spark of light in your life that you can follow to find those better feeling times.
I've gotten, as we say, 'Under the Weather', which is unfortunately something I resist accepting and rather than lying down and napping I think of more things I need to do because I feel a nagging sense I'm falling behind with my 'to do' lists.
Then it catches me. And I internally exclaim, 'Yes!' - just like the fairy I pulled today randomly from the Bluebird Fairy Deck.
Here he is-
The fairy of "Yes! Take the time to Hold You Dearly' always shows up when he's most needed. Today, I will take it easy and find my way through this day.
I hope whenever he shows up for you, and, perhaps, this is the moment for you as well, you can relax into the idea of being comfortable with your yourself and resting. It brings us such good to let go and watch the clouds roll by or the snow come down or the birds fly.
Have fun, and we will too.
All the best to you!
Love
Emily and the Bluebird Fairies
P.S.
For Chinese New Year's this year I created a fiery red fairy for the 'Year of the dog'. As I read more about the year of the Earth Dog and it's benevolent easy offering to us this year I've rethought the colors.
Here he is, a brownish orange dog with blue flowers with white petals living in a world of pink clouds. His' Happy Easy New Year!!!' feels better. Happy New Year of the Earth Dog!
Happy New Year of the Earth Dog!
Engaging in Life Fully
Dear Friends of Bluebird Fairies,
I hope this email finds you well and able to take a moment to read this.
Ever have days where all the big and little mistakes and confusions of life seem to be piling up around you?
Today I was contemplating this when my eyes glanced on this fairy hanging on the wall of our kitchen.
The 'Fairy of Engagement' is so simple and easy. I LOVE her and her sweet message of "Have Fun. Every Day. In Every Way."
Is that possible? Especially when things go wrong or awry?
Yes. They can.
This fairy was created because Brian and I are engaged and we've named this year; 'The Year of Engagement.'
Yesterday I was thinking about my engagement ring and realized something remarkably wonderful about it.
The ring was my Grandmother's. After Brian presented it to me last summer my aunt filled us in on the story behind the ring. The original engagement and wedding rings were lost on a road trip in the 60's when my grandmother washed her hands at a rest stop. The loss wasn't realized for 50 miles and though my Grandparents returned and searched the rings were gone. My ring is a replacement for what was surely a large, sad loss.
On the bright side, this delightful, sparkly ring on my hand has been waiting over 50 years to fulfill it's role of 'engaging'. Now, it is.
There's always an opportunity to live the strand of the story through to the miracle.
It is through engaging in our lives fully that we find the magic of life.
Onward and Upward.
All the best,
Emily and the Bluebird Fairies
Welcoming In the Year of the Dog
Happy Chinese New Year's Everyone,
I LOVE this holiday and revel in knowing that so many people around the world are celebrating it.
Here's the Fairy for our new Year of the Dog.
Isn't he fun, with his super red body and white flowers? I love his "Happy, Easy New Year" greeting.
Here's some nice words I came across in a blog called Refinery 96 -
"Whatever sign you may be, the year of the Dog is a great time to reach out to those around you and become a friendly presence in their lives, if not a true friend. And, if you're already speaking out for your values, you just might get an energizing boost this year."
I hope you can a way for these thoughts and the Year of the Dog to weave their way into your life.
On we go, friends.
Wishing you all the best!

Light Thoughts Lofting You Up
Dear Friends of Bluebird Fairies,
Hello! I hope you're doing great.
Today my Fairy Blog is going to be short and sweet.
In order to get closer to the light launch of my 'Fairy of the Day' app I've needed to streamline my activities.
My last, for a while, event in my studio happened on February 2nd. We celebrated the gifts of the 3 kings. What were they? Compassion, Creativity and Connection.
